For Winders, around here we've had good luck with "Proxomitron" - beware of
spelling; I don't use it myself...

Or for Winders & Linux users: Mozilla version 1.0; it doesn't have all the
cruft of Nutscrape, is faster than that & Internet Exploder, and you can
selectively turn off javascript functions:

Allow webpages to:

open unrequested windows
open a link in a new window
move or resize existing windows
raise or lower windows
change status bar text
change images
create or change cookies
read cookies

seperately, you can:
enable cookies for the originating website only
disable cookies in Mail & Newsgroups

and one of my favorite features:
tell images to loop only once, no matter what.

And it's under 11 Megs... www.mozilla.org
